Hi there,

This is my first really post here. So Hello to everyone !!
I decided to make a list of Nuclear Test Locations. I know the "atomic test" plugin.
So this is more a summary of interresting locations with little descriptions.

the Test Site. The Crater itself was covered with sand.

Quoted post

The Kondyor ridge.

Geologically, it's an igneous intrusion. Economically, it's the site of platinum mines.
